We would frame this as homologous specialization between these species but not convergent evolution, given the potential dorsal pathway prototype in their common ancestor. More to come!

Very interesting new work by @lingzhongfan.bsky.social & colleagues, identifying an arcuate fasciculus homolog in the marmoset brain — with implications for the evolution of the neural scaffold supporting vocal communication 🧪🧠 www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

New paper out in @pnas.org We followed cells migrating along signalling gradients in 3D, and found they collectively behave as a living droplet - a self-propelling fluid that grows. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

1/ Really excited to share our new preprint "Arcuate Fasciculus: Evolutionary Convergence in Marmosets and Humans"! Check it out here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Possible neural convergence found between marmosets and humans for aspects of the arcuate fasciculus, a white matter tract often seen as critical to support species-specific communicative behavior (new preprint by @lingzhongfan.bsky.social and colleagues) 🧪🧠 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The brain’s action-mode is created by a dedicated action-mode network (AMN) rdcu.be/d5odm. In the brain’s mode continuum, AMN sits opposite DMN’s default-mode, as yin-yang. AMN might be key in pain, apathy, Parkinson’s. New @natrevneurosci.bsky.social w/ Marc Raichle & @gordonneuro.bsky.social 🧵 ⬇️
